Profile: https://flows.cv/samjang

I’m a Lead Digital Product Designer with 16+ years of experience specializing in UX, motion, and connected experiences. My work bridges hardware and software, designing for electric vehicles, headsets, cameras, wearables, and companion apps with a focus on clarity and seamless interactions.


At Rivian, Cisco Systems, and Samsung Electronics, I’ve led end-to-end design across enterprise and consumer products, collaborating with hardware, software, and research teams to deliver thoughtful, scalable solutions. I enjoy solving complex problems through user-centered design and clear communication with cross-functional partners.

I integrate AI into my design process to enhance creativity, accelerate prototyping, and move from idea to interactive experience faster.

I believe great design starts with people and story simple, intuitive, and thoughtfully crafted, with AI amplifying human insight and creativity.
